00:00 Good evening and welcome to the press conference after FC Bayern's start in the Champions League.
00:08 We're in the new year, so to speak, in the round of 16 here at Lazio Roma.
00:13 I'm pleased to welcome Thomas Tuchel and encourage you to ask your questions.
00:18 As usual, I'll show you the questions by hand.
00:21 At the back, Edgar Endres for Bayerische Rundfunk.
00:25 Mr. Tuchel, good evening. You warned Lazio Roma yesterday.
00:30 You said it wouldn't be an easy task.
00:33 How do you explain the performance drop in the second half?
00:37 I think it's arrived, as we started.
00:42 We have a big chance in the first minute.
00:45 We have a good chance with Harry in the ninth minute, I think.
00:49 Or sixth or ninth minute.
00:51 We have a very big chance with Jamal Musiala.
00:55 The game is completely in our hands.
00:57 We have complete control.
00:59 We conceded many goals, but didn't allow any chances.
01:03 Two long shots, I think.
01:07 In the end, we didn't have a single goal from seven shots to take the lead.
01:13 But we had the game completely under control.
01:16 We played a good first half.
01:19 I don't know why, but we definitely had a big drop in performance in the second half.
01:25 We made a lot of individual mistakes.
01:29 In areas where they really hurt, in our own half, in the build-up to the game.
01:34 Suddenly we let in goal chances.
01:37 We completely lost our rhythm, our belief and our power to score.
01:42 And then on top, completely in our own fault, a goal with an eleven-meter red card.
01:49 The game was completely decided against us.
01:52 That was definitely our responsibility.
01:55 That's why we lost the game today.
01:59 A game that looked like we couldn't lose it in the first half.
02:05 Thank you.
02:07 Then further ahead on the right, Tobias Altschöffel for Sportbild.
02:10 Mr. Tobel, do you worry about your job as a Bayern coach after this very weak performance?
02:16 No.
02:17 If you say no, what gives you, or why do you think you are the right coach for FC Bayern at the moment?
02:24 What gives you reason to hope?
02:26 I would like to talk about the game.
02:28 And about your job?
02:31 I already said that. I answered no.
02:34 You asked a question, I answered no.
02:36 So it's a bit much, isn't it?
02:38 He answered, so let's just move on.
02:40 Tobias, please for understanding.
02:42 Next question, please.
02:46 Good evening, coach.
02:50 Alessandro Vittori, Lazio.
02:52 We are at Neu.it.
02:53 Your team, as you have listed the chances, started very strong.
02:59 I ask you, did that influence the fact that you didn't go into the lead?
03:05 The fact that the game went on and Bayern couldn't stop it in the second half?
03:10 Did you expect a Lazio team to be so organised after the last few games?
03:15 Lazio showed, especially against Inter and Atalanta, that they are two great teams and they have difficulties.
03:21 Thank you.
03:27 We expected the game to be just like that.
03:29 I agree with you.
03:33 I think we played very well in the first half and deserved to have the chance to go into the lead.
03:39 We had the control over the game, we had the chances to score.
03:43 We defended very well.
03:45 At the moment, we are lacking in power.
03:50 We have a hard time finding the chances to score and to use them.
03:58 In the second half, we lost our rhythm and made the opponents strong through individual mistakes in very dangerous areas.
04:08 That's why we are responsible for this defeat in the second half.
04:17 The next question is for Edgar Endres.
04:21 I have a question for you, Mr Tuchel.
04:23 I saw you on TV after the break, you were shaking your head and buried your face in your hands.
04:29 Were you worried about the fouls or what went through your head?
04:34 I don't know the situation at the moment.
04:37 I probably got angry about something.
04:39 Could you be more specific?
04:42 Those were fouls that didn't come to you.
04:45 You said that you lost your confidence.
04:47 Where did the offensive power of Bayern remain?
04:50 Two games in a row to nothing.
04:52 We didn't have many chances to score before that.
04:58 We struggled in the last games.
05:00 We had a lot of chances to score since the second half.
05:04 We won four games in five games.
05:09 It was tough for us to win the games.
05:14 But we got results for that.
05:16 The first half was a good reaction to the defeat in Leverkusen.
05:24 I think that there were enough chances for a away game in the Champions League in the first half.
05:30 Against a well-organised Italian team.
05:35 We had two or three chances to score.
05:38 That's normal for our quality.
05:41 And for the players who had the chance.
05:43 It's enough to lead 1-2-0.
05:46 Then we're talking about a completely different game.
05:48 We didn't manage that.
05:50 That's why we have to explain the defeat.
05:52 Marco Mader for Sport Information Service.
05:55 You said you were shocked when you came to Bayern.
06:01 You were looking for the energy in training.
06:03 You found it.
06:05 But you always have these performance issues.
06:07 Do you feel like you can't catch up with the team?
06:11 I said that in the defeat in Manchester City.
06:14 It was our first really good game.
06:19 Even if the result was a defeat.
06:25 0-3.
06:27 There were some big individual mistakes.
06:29 That brought us to the loser's bracket.
06:31 But I knew what we did.
06:34 That's why I said that.
06:36 To show how satisfied I was.
06:39 Three days later we played 1-1 against Hoffenheim.
06:45 That's what we need.
06:51 We're working on it.
06:53 We haven't found the key yet.
06:55 It's my responsibility to get the team there.
07:03 To make it better.
07:05 It's obviously difficult at the moment.
07:08 We've shown good reactions to defeats.
07:12 There weren't many.
07:15 The first half was okay.
07:18 For a knockout in Italy.
07:22 But the second half was a huge loss.
07:28 That led to a defeat.
07:30 We have to explain that.
07:32 Last question.
07:34 Good evening.
07:36 I wanted to ask you.
07:39 Miroslav Klose said that you play like Maurizio Sarri.
07:46 What do you think about Sarri and Ciro Immobile's growth?
07:52 He scored 200 goals and became one of the best strikers in Italy.
07:57 Thank you.
07:59 Ciro is a classic centre forward.
08:05 We know that.
08:07 A dangerous centre forward.
08:09 We had him under control for a long time.
08:12 We had the whole game under control.
08:15 Except for our big individual mistakes.
08:18 They cost us a lot of confidence.
08:22 It made it impossible for us to give up.
08:26 Or to bring the game under control.
08:31 I don't know if we have a similar style.
08:34 Lazio play with many wall players.
08:37 They try to play with short distances.
08:40 They bring in many wall players.
08:43 To find a free player in the third.
08:46 Then they play forward in three fast, aggressive strikers.
08:51 We had that with our fourth chain.
08:54 We had a good grip for a long time.
08:57 The chances we gave in the second half were due to individual mistakes.
09:03 We had problems in defence.
09:06 The decisive moment is the penalty.
09:12 We are in a big advantage again.
09:15 In the 16th minute.
09:17 It's enough to make the decision with two or three people.
09:23 Similar to Leverkusen.
09:25 We have a return in three weeks.
09:29 We have a big game.
09:33 We have a league game in three days.
09:36 We will continue.
09:38 Thank you.
09:40 Come home safe.
09:42 See you next time.
